Disappointed

Be careful when dealing with the host of this property, which is a Vascasa property. Although it looked nice and clean, our feet became black when walking on the floors. Additionally, the shower stall leaked after every shower, which was never resolved. Their communication is abysmal, and no one seems to know anything. The worst thing was that we received a notice that the beach access from the property was not available, which is why we chose this property. When I was finally able to reach the “host”, prior to the last date we could receive our deposit back and choose a property that did still have access. The host didn’t know(!), and said he would contact the local manager,. He contacted us back and said it would be fine and we were sent a gate access code. When we arrived, the access was not accessible, the gate could not be used, as the 10 foot drop to the beach had no stairs. We were told we could use the public beach access which was a half mile walk on the main rd. When we complained the response was, well you have beach access. I don’t appreciate the dishonesty of this company Vascasa.

We loved the unit! Clean and convenient. Fantastic views. One thing of note...the TV is not a smart TV so if you want to stream, bring a roku or apple firestick device.

Love Castle Reef

We've been coming to Castle Reef for over 10 years now and this is the first time we used Vacasa. The trip did not disappoint. Clean room, great view, easy access to elevator and the complex is close to just about every place you need while staying. Will be back.

Awesome oceanfront

If you want to look out the window or sit on the balcony and see & hear the beautiful ocean, this is the perfect place to be! The sunrises are spectacular, too! It's a quick and convenient walk down to the pool area and great beach access. The unit is very clean and updated. Nice layout and new furnishings. I would have preferred a mattress with more support. Overall, great time and will certainly consider a return visit in the future!

Great Place/Problems with VACASA

This updated condo was absolutely beautiful with a wonderful ocean breeze. It is extremely spacious and I would stay there again if I did not have to deal with VACASA. Due to the hurricane, there was not any beach access within a 10-minute walk. Everything in the unit worked well until the last 2 days. Not only did VACASA cancel this reservation and try to put us in a condo located across the road from the beach, but when we reported the 2 problems that arose, they never called back.

Beautiful Location, Run Down Condo

The Castle Reef is a fine complex with an excellent location, great beach access, and very nice pool. Our particular unit looked like an abused motel on the shores of Myrtle Beach. The unit was not mopped prior to our arrival, the ceilings were black from dust from the AC unit, the ceiling fans were warped downward and rusted, one AC vent had an anti-bacterial wipe stuffed into it, one electric socket was falling out of the wall, and one closet door was broken off it's track. Chipped doors, no trim in the bedroom with chipped paint, and a dated kitchen. I reported the broken door to the property management company (Vacasa) but received no reply. I have pictures to back up all of these claims. We actually had a wonderful week at the beach. The location is excellent, the beach was clean and not crowded, and the pool area was a lot of fun. Someone needs to invest some money into this unit to get it up to 21st century standards.

Great service recovery

We visited this site for my birthday. We were very disappointed initially because the whole place smelled like mildew. We notified the owner and she came immediately and sprayed the place and changed the air filters. When we returned there was no trace of mildew smell. The beds were comfortable and it’s decorated nice. Kitchen and bathroom could use some updating . Overall, it was a great stay. Right on the beach and a nice pool area.

All about location

The location of this property really makes it what it is. The view is fantastic and it's located on the non-driving part of the beach. The pool is right next to the beach which our kids really loved, and the beach was clean and pretty quiet. The condo could have used some more essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, etc and we were only given two dishwasher pods for 3 a day stay. Not a huge deal but we had to buy some of those items to last through our visit. The condo could use some updating as others have mentioned, but it's a beach property so you're not really there to enjoy the condo in the end. Overall, we loved the location and the size of the unit was just right for our small family!
